Buckethead This is a nice little melee moga with a very very cheap price tag 38 nora for a relatively good melee beater with reasonable damage due to berserk I personally would say you can use this as a filler when needed but I personally do not use him. 3/5 Simply good value but you have other options that i prefer Cavernkeeper While a moga he is for voil you have no great need for him inside of a moga bg. 0/5 for moga based bgs Dirge Now this is the creme de le creme of the moga he is one of your sources of overseer and all he provides makes him an instant feature in a moga bg, you can not go wrong with him and his damage output even without moga is respectable with moga out he starts to get absurd. 5/5 He is a big deal for Moga Feshcaller Mika Now Mika is a utility moga for sure her summon crested fesh ability helps make her relevant as an early draw and her utility keeps her relevant as the game develops with area healing and pacification you can get alot of value with her with good play. 4/5 The utility she brings is exceptionally good Firebomber An intresting rune for sure that is rarely seen in play but could potentially be used sadly for its nora cost its too squishy its not unrunnable and the fire bomb is useful and lack of ghernbound would make it viable but if you were to run it be warned that its quite the investment. 1.5/5 Just too expensive overall Moga Assault Team Oddly enough this is a rune that fits into a similar price bracket and competes with a firebomber but is alot tougher and in trade of a bomb effect you get a considerable bulk of meat slightly higher damage and you can use an arrowshot but you must work with ghernbound or it is very similar to a firebomber just with a good hp boost (18) 4/5 The stats this guy has is something you can not dismiss at his price Moga Aviator This is just really here to improve the range of your moga by +1 but at 32 hp and a price tag of 44 nora its very expensive to put down just on that bracket i can not really say many situations where this is your winning rune its doable but your investing alot for a very squishy rune. 1/5 He is just too squishy and does not provide enough Moga Babbler This little moga is a bundle of stats for a cheap price of 37 nora with antagonize (a taunt that forces the enemy to attack this rune) and its signature incoherent babbling which affects your champions as well as his means if you can get it into a position he is disruptive and can force big threats to have to react to him for 37 nora you get very good value and it is widely considered worthwhile to have one. 4/5 His price tag and utility really help out. Moga Boom Vendor An older rune that to an extent can still have its place with explosive attack raised up you can do a respectable 13 dmg on a hit wand the ability to train death nova magical is not terrible all in all this rune can be slotted in to add more ranged power to your bg and a tiny bit of utility the big big downside is the health of 29hp which will leave you stressed when it is within sneezing distance of anything unfriendly there are better choices. 2/5 Sadly the hit points literally hold him back Moga Cannon This is a monstrosity that can only be said as you WANT these guys they have long long range a respectable hit point pool and with encouraged their damage can get wildly out of control with alot of moga around them they are considered good enough to even reach into Shattered Peaks meta bgs at times just due to how effective they are. 5/5 These will win you games. Moga Chef Welcome to utility beyond utility for a measly 40 nora your granted access to a disease breath and a heal, the disease breath keeps this guy relevant as the disease denies the healing from the enemy and the healing allows him to play defensive enough to not worry about dieing and at 40 nora anything focused on him is often spending ap on killing something that while useful is often acceptable to trade off. He is one of those runes you will learn to love without hesitation. 5/5 For what this little guy brings you can only be glad he is there. Moga Creeper What to say about the moga creeper he is not a bad rune but he is not good either he comes into the game stealthed or capable of stealthing but with his problem of a measly 34 hp on a frontline rune the 45 nora pricetag he is paying often hurts but he is exceptionally quick for a moga at 7 speed, if you do run him only include 1 of him but he is largely never seen as there are safer or more effective options. 2/5 In the melee frontline he is just not up to much Moga Hooligan This is a 50 nora moga with again low hp (common in moga) but he is resistant to attacks if his damage was 1-2 higher he could see play but as is investing 50 nora on only a 9 dmg base unit with lower hp for a melee frontline is not worth the time the buckethead is just a better option than him as your frontline. 1/5 You can use Buckethead or Zealot Moga Hunters The current situation with riders being a bit overpriced rings true with this rune especially since it drops a trapper and netter without upgrades (a trapper without upgrades has no traps and ultimately your paying for some hp) If you wished to pay for some hitpoints there are alot better options this as of right now probably should not be actively used in my view. 2.5/5 Could improve alot Moga Inferno This little guy is an automatic 1x in any moga bg the access to seism is a big deal and allows him to be used as an anti relic when you need him and the range alone of 2-4 with Burn allows him to remain relevant seism alone grants this moga a good use. 5/5 This is a definite you will run 1 Inferno the second is optional Moga Lords Guard Now for a frontline moga this is quite the good one but without hiding anything if you do not have a Dirge in your battlegroup this guys damage will not exist he works alongside dirge at best and without him this moga is just there to act as a small speedbump between your ghern and other moga with dirge he becomes respectable enough in his own right with a good armor value toughness and bodyguard active. With Dirge this guy is great without Dirge he will not impress. Alone 2/5 With Dirge 4/5 overall 3/5 This is because to meet the requirement is a big investment. Moga Netter Sad to say the moga netter has little to no place anymore while it is a ranged moga it is competing with the Moga Inferno and the inferno brings more to the table if you wish to run a netter you probably should just run 2 infernos instead in my view as they both have similar hitpoint values ranges and the inferno is a touch cheaper only lacking farshot (entangle is all the netter brings which is better but at reduced damage for a snare its questionable). 1/5 Just due to being outdated Moga Razor Now these guys are damn expensive for what they bring but they for me are such a solid option allowing you to move a bit more freely without ghernbound and dropping a buckethead without upgrades upon death, I personally love these guys and find them very useful as you can choose upgrades suited to your playstyle but I personally have found them to be valuable in almost all stages while offering a good and flexible start. 4/5 Exceptionally good but pricey Moga Recruiter This unit is an instant x2 you will want these in your battlegroup of moga they have a good upgrade path making you mostly choose between commander and battle hymn (i run one of each) alternate damage and swarm moga this is just too useful to pass up and can win games by landing 1-2 swarms. 5/5 These are a huge part of your group they are almost definitely autoinclude Moga Sapper This is our resident suicide bomber, my only problem with this is that you pay 37 nora for a champion whos main job is to run and suicide for 14 damage you can run avalanche instead for a spot 10 area of effect damage at much wider range this guy is mostly left out as its simply why run something for this purpose and all the effort to get it there to "perhaps" be useful or most likely just killed within your own ranks, I have yet to see this and i personally am not likely to include it. 0.5/5 Simply put its a specialist piece that by and large will not help unless your designed to use it. Moga Scout Oddly enough this rune is useable but to get any great value out of it you need to use the "Mark" ability which means you need to be stealthed to do so his options to stealth are limited and its just alot of effort to position and pull off for a largely smaller effect to give a rough idea, you will need to land 5 attacks from units to achieve the same value as an avalanche spell certainly doable but you have to give up the space in your bg and achieve this or you would be better with avalanche aside from that he is just a melee beater. Personally i do not advise him. 2/5 It is doable but not worthwhile Moga Slinger This is very useable in your bgs with a great range of 4-6 lowered damage unless you have Aim active but the range alone and multi attack allows him to get away with hits quite often and retreat to good safety a very useable rune the only consideration is at 62ish nora he is not a cheap rune and for myself what he brings to the table is not high enough to warrant his cost. 3.5/5 He is good but you would be better to just spring that bit higher to moga cannons or allow G'hern to do the ranged. Moga Spark This rune is actually very intresting in many ways primarily it has a very high damage output but the main use of this rune is if you take the ghernbound upgrade and remove jolt he can drop down to the 48ish nora bracket, his damage at this point is very high given he has chain lightning and spark charge. If you intend to use this rune look into the Thunderhead Totems and various electric spells within the peaks just be warned he is squishy but with a mix of electric additions such as stormwrack,thunderhead totem, you may find yourself warming to this guy. As a random filler 2/5 Part of an electric designed bg 3.5/5 Moga Spellsnare This rune is only there for spell blockade and at 80 nora for only blocking 1 spell every 4 turns its questionable that you could get enough value from this rune as it will literally only sit at your shrine and be at risk from any global damage spells after it blocks a spell this is pretty much unrunnable as it stands with 29 health melee attacks and a huge pricetag you will almost never find a situation where you wish you had one. 0.5/5 Just too pricey Moga Team 6 Sad to say this is literally just an amphibious version of the Moga Assault team without the farshot ability and a slightly higher price tag, ultimately speaking if you were to run this you should just use the Moga Assault team and have a cheaper and ultimately better rune in most situations sorry to say this rune is as it stands nearly obsolete with no distinct yes run this. 0/5 This has no place while the Moga Assault team lives Moga Trailblazer A very situational rune overall you could use it with initiative allowing you to potentially get a surprise every so often and master climber allowing him a small situational damage boost, Its doable but the luck to meet all the circumstances to make it effective just turn it down to the odds of this rune being standout and amazing are rare for a font capper the Moga Babbler with leap can imitiate this rune at a lower cost and is probably the more reliable choice. 1.5/5 Simply better options out there Moga Trapper These are quite the big deal within moga with the traps being maxed you generally will be using these and setting up a big turn using the traps and the Vicious Harpoon, if you run the Moga Trappers you will run Harpoons its highly advised you do so and when done correctly its one of the go to combinations within the Moga playstyle. 4.5/5 Very useful runes with the harpoon they can make and break you Moga Trigger Oddly this rune could even see use but the fact that to get the most out of this rune he has to eat traps that is completely against the idea of using the Trapper and Harpoon so in a real sense he seems like he could work alongside but he is more there to sabotage them along his greatest intrest would most likely be rallying cries for bonus ap but at 42 nora when you do this he remains questionable but not unuseable be creative with this guy and you could get value out of him as with surge ghern as a default he could potentially late game be able to do a pretty meaty hit, leaving me only to say i do not use him but he has more use than some of the other moga that arent used right now. 1/5 They look to synergise with Trappers but they are just not worth the time sadly. Moga Zealot This is a very intresting little maniac with a source of overseer around this guy can achieve the 8speed and what is more he will be at 14 damage based with surge ghern so chances are this guy will be very easily seeing numbers of 15+ dmg per turn he is very useable and I have seen him show up in games before I personally do not use him due to my preference to the Moga Razors but this guy is an option for a frontliner within moga just be warned he will get killed fast if you are not careful. 4/5 Specialised but they put down shocking damage if you can manage it. Mogahern Destroyer This is both a Moga and a Ghern so I will include him just as he is a moga but like a ghern he is limited to only 1x in a bg his price is very reasonable at around 70ish nora he is unstoppable and I use him currently as he is able to go off into a side font on his own and look after himself until support can be sent he is literally able to work as either a Ghern or a frontliner or solo he is very flexible and you can consider him in many situations a very underrated unit in my view. 4/5 Very useful flexible can only say he is worth the time. Reckless Spellhack Oddly enough this little guy is useable but given the Moga Inferno and Slingers this guy at 5 speed and 8 dmg is just not able to match up mostly used as a surprise font capture with reckless teleport he is unreliable in this aspect and the reckless Blast requires you position moga correctly but for what reckless blast does in damage values if you work around that you take damage as well it is a hefty hit, ultimately this guy is playable but you will find yourself having to make him work. 2.5/5 Not the worst or the best can be helpful but there are other options Savage Boar This is the last of the list and the Savage Boar is just a form of meat sadly at nearly 60 nora with ghernbound you will find that he just does not do enough as a 2x2 positioning is harder 52 health is not amazing and his lower damage forcing you to use hostile regularly he is best considered 1st Meat wall and 2nd Hostile and charge 3 is a shock trooper hit sadly I do not believe this worth the time but to give credit with Hostile + Charge 3 that is a 17 damage charge provided overseer is there. 2/5 Just some meat use a Mogahern Destroyer instead That is all I have to say on Moga as it stands I hope those that stayed to read enjoyed it and if people liked it I may try create a Minature Ghern Handbook. Good luck out there poxers

I actually disagree with a lot of your opinions, and I think a lot of people would. E.g. Buckethead is great, like really great - certainly not worse than assault team!
The only reason i lowered his value with the assault team is because the buckethead is in a sort of different bracket to compare buckethead with assault team doesnt work but you can compare him more with the moga zealot and trappers he is certainly not weak but the assault team is certainly more leaning towards the mogahern destroyer in terms of tankiness. And thats good if you have disagreements please write in and say why as said for me the buckethead just as an example. Cheap meat Zealot // Buckethead // Trappers // Triggers etc are all versions of it. Bigger meat We have things like Mogahern Destroyer Assault teams primarily they are much higher in the hp stakes And the fact you can get a buckethead for free from a Moga Razor albeit without upgrades for me he is not weak just he is in compeition with other things which the assault team isnt.
Well do you also believe that Ballballer as from what I can see moga zealot behaves in the same way but reaches the 8 action point total which i find more valuable than the 7
Has everyone forgotten that G'hern Helm gives Race: G'hern? I slap that puppy on Moga Aviator for my ranged G'hern. I love that little guy.
